Figure 4

Distributions of clonal sizes at the time of the first extinction event (each column, \({\textbf{U}}^{i}\) for \(i=1,2,3\), represents the extinction of clonotype i in the hard and soft niche cases (clonotype 1), green and blue, respectively, with initial state \({\textbf{n}}_{0}=(4,8,8)\) using the method described in Appendix H in the Supplementary Material). The fourth column shows the probability for each clonotype to be the first becoming extinct, \({\mathcal {U}}^{i}_{\mathbf {n_{0}}}\). Each panel (a, b, c and d) corresponds to one of the competition scenarios shown in Fig. 3. A triangle represents the initial state and a diamond indicates the mean of the resulting distribution of clonal sizes at the time of the first extinction event.
